Strengths
- “Pupils love telling visitors why they enjoy school so much.”
- “They are especially proud of the pupil parliament, recently electing a prime minister, chancellor, cabinet and members of parliament.”
- “They are very enthusiastic about the ‘talk partners’, where older pupils support younger ones in mixed-age classes.”
To improve
- “However, when pupils require additional support to catch up in smaller groups, this is not always of the same high quality and consistency.”
- “Consequently, not all pupils do as well in mathematics as in reading.”
